 Aled Owen with Roy |
Aled's wealth of experience is demonstrated by his success in competition. He has now represented his country at International level no fewer than 25 times. He won the Supreme title in 1999 with Roy, repeating the feat with Bob in 2000 to become the first handler successfully to defend his title with different dogs, since the great Northumberland handler, Thomas Armstrong, did so in 1911 and 1912. His feats include:

 Uncle William Jones with Ci Glas |
Being a hill farmer in North Wales on his farm just outside Corwen close to the Snowdonia National Park, he has been brought up with sheepdog trialling in his blood. Aled's uncle, William Jones, won the famous Llangollen sheepdog trial in 1899 with Ci Glas. It was fitting that Aled should win this same title exactly 100 years later with Roy. Managing to run trial dogs and farm dogs is not something that all can do, but Aled has secured admiration for herding sheep both on the mountainside, and on the trial field - quite often in the company of much more scrutinising judges on the mountainside! |
North Wales Special Nursery TrialDespite appallingly bad weather on the 23rd., the Nursery-trial was held at Ewe-phoria, and with our Japanese visitors attracting interest from the Press and Tv. Media many viewers around the Nation (and indeed, the world) got a chance to see our North Wales Nursery-dogs competing, both against the course and the elements! Mr Takanami & Mrs. Mizutani wish to pass on their thanks to all competitors whom attended the Ewe-Phoria trial, for the friendly welcome, and kind support that was given on the day and over the week of the visit.....The Japanese dog ('Ben': out of Aled`s Gwyn x Tegwen) has benefited greatly from the experience of the trial, and also from competing in his first open trial at Llanfairfechan on Sunday, the 26th....it is hoped that Ben may return again in the years to come to compete in the land of his fathers!.
